Interaction between Nonhistone Protein HMGB1 and Linker Histone H1 Facilitates the Formation of Structurally Ordered DNA-Protein Complexes

Figure 2

CD spectra of DNA and its complexes with recombinant protein HMGB1-(AB) at different DNA to protein ratios 𝑅 , defined as the number of DNA base pairs per one protein molecule in the complex. The complexes with the ratios 45 : 1; 30 : 1; 20 : 1 are marked in the plot. Concentration of DNA in all samples was 0.03 mg/mL; the optical path length was 1.0 cm.
